1996 Mustang GT Over Heating/fan not running

My car is over heating and i noticed the fan is not engaging. I need to find out how to solve my problem. Is it the fan motor/relay/switch? How can I tell what the problem is? And how do I fix it? Where is the relay?

My Mustang is not the GT,It's the 3.8 V6. Same problem, I checked the fan motor, It did not work and smelled burnt. Got another one from pic &

pull, It works when I put power to it, but it will not work when the car gets

hot. I'm trying to fide the sensor.My Mustang is not the GT,It's the 3.8 V6. Same problem, I checked the fan motor, It did not work and smelled burnt. Got another one from pic &

It could be several things. To really troubleshoot, you need expert advice. Get a Haynes Repair Manual from your local Auto Zone or other parts store and it has complete step by step instructions with pictures to repair or replace just about anything on your auto. It's the best $25 you will spend.
